$45K in metal stolen from I-85 construction site

A man has been arrested and another is sought on suspicion of stealing nearly $45,000 in metal from a construction site on Interstate 85.

Ronald Adam Breithaupt, 26, of Salisbury, was arrested Tuesday following a traffic stop last week in Spencer, Davidson County deputies said.

Deputies are still looking for Brian William-Heflin Domke, 30, of Salisbury.

"It was discovered during the (traffic) stop that the driver and passenger had stolen several thousand pounds of metal from a construction site on Interstate 85 in Linwood," deputies said in a news release.

Both are charged with two counts of felony larceny from a construction site. Breithaupt was held under a $7,500 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 10.

Anyone who knows Domke's whereabouts is asked to call the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
